Overheard at Seabury

When we had flu shots on campus, a fifth grader was dead set against one. He tried many arguments to get out of it, including this one: 

"If everyone in the school gets a flu shot, then I will have a next to zero chance of getting the flu.”

Two first grade boys on the playground: 
"Hey ... You’re wearing your shirt backward!"

"No ... I’m wearing my head backward."

From one first grader to another during partner reading:

"Can you please enunciate?"

From a first grader:

"Well, you know robots don't eat much – just Oreos and water."

A kindergartner, looking at the page in Caps for Sale, where the peddler has discovered a bunch of monkeys in a tree, each wearing one of his caps: 

"That's a one-to-one correspondance. ... Miss Mimi taught me that."

From a middle school student:

"On the bus coming back from the Mima Mounds I calculated the gravitational pull of Jupiter except if Jupiter was made of rock instead of gases"

From a second grader:

"I think our whole family is going through a growth spurt."

A potential student who'd visited our admittedly small middle school campus asked her grandparents after that visit: "But where's the school?" A couple of weeks later she attended the Middle School Mashup and had a fabulous time. As she was excitedly telling her grandparents about the morning, she said: 

"And now I get it. The school is everywhere, even at the donut shop!"

From a fourth grader:

"Harvard is where the presidents go. That's where Barack Obama learned how to be a president."

Seabury kids do "say the darndest things."
